Adventure Activities Licensing Authority

Adventure Activities Licensing ensures that Rock & River follow good safety management practices. These practises allow young people to experience exciting and stimulating activities outdoors without being exposed to avoidable risks of death or disabling injury.

The licence indicates that we have been inspected by the Adventure Activities Licensing Service on behalf of the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority, with particular attention being paid to our safety management systems with young people, and demonstrated compliance with nationally accepted standards of good practice in the delivery of adventure activities to young people, with due regard to the benefits and risks of the activity.

Adventure activities licensing has been in place since April 1996. It is currently sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions.

Adventure activities licensing is delivered jointly by the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority (a role undertaken by the Health and Safety Executive since 1 April 2007) and the Adventure Activities Licensing Service, which is under contract to the Health and Safety Executive to deliver licensing day to day on their behalf.
